The news was delivered to the attendees of the seventh annual Apple Industries breakfast and keynote presentation (pictured), which took place before the doors opened for day two of the IAAPA Expo.

While the Marvel Adventure Lab was shown at 2018’s IAAPA Expo, it was only officially launched this year and during CEO Allen Weisberg’s keynote address he revealed that it has been awarded an IAAPA Brass Ring award for best new product. The other big news was the unveiling of Smile X, the new operating software that the company’s products will use when it imminently retires Smile 2.0.

A cloud-based application network collecting information from all installed and online machines, it is the result of much hard work from Apple’s software development team, which has tripled in size to deliver the new tool.

Smile X is capable of monitoring tens of thousands of units worldwide that will have the capability to self-heal, repairing any issues that occur automatically. The previous software only sent one update to Apple servers per day but the new iteration collects real-time data around the clock and allows operators an overview of all machines with one click from any device.
